You know what the best thing about having a cat is? There are many ameowzing things, but the fact that they're just there, radiating happiness and calmness all over your house… that's the best thing about them. They don't even need to do anything. Cats just need to be themselves, and we're happy. When our cats are napping, when our cats are cuddling us, when our cats are having zoomies in the middle of the day for no reason and running into walls… we're smiling.

When our cats are happy, we are happy, and that's the simple truth. So, because we think that each and every person in the world could use some extra pawsitivity and joy in their lives right now, we asked you to send us the cutest pictures of your cats simply being happy. And we could not stop smiling while writing this listicle.
